What owners say
Car has been emitting a loud scraping squeaking sound when braking for months. I took it in to dealership to be inspected in February thinking that we needed brakes but were told there is nothing wrong with the brakes & the problem could not be duplicated. I got in the car with the advisor and the problem duplicated but they would not look at it any further due to being understaffed we had to go back and leave the car for them to diagnose it. The car has been at the dealership for almost a weak now (Since June 1st 2022) and they say they can’t duplicate the problem and everything looks fine. I don’t know how a car can make such a sound and there be nothing wrong. I see there was a brake recall & they were bleeding brakes for the solution but my vin number doesn’t produce that recall option. The first dealership visit for this complaint was February 2022. It is June and the compass is at the shop again to be diagnosed. But i’m being told they can’t duplicate the problem.
From purchase date the brakes felt bad. I have taken my car to 2 dealerships and 3 times total to complain about the grinding and brake grabbing and told nothing is wrong or no recalls, so they didn't want to address this ongoing issue.
I complained about engine tapping soon after buying the brand new car in august 2019 nothing was done. 5/9/20 I attempted to drive the car and as I got ready to pull into a busy street the truck cut off and the parking break engaged. It took me 5 mins to get it restarted and attempted to back up and it cut off again. My breaks have been feeling as though they are grinding. My clock has changed time on the truck from regular time to military time. When moving my car into drive my car jerks violently.
My brakes started grinding at 5,000 miles but it is inconsistent, mainly from cold to start and another time it did it frequently during the day.
